When referring to someone from Puerto Rico, is it proper to call them a Boricua?
Q. I keep hearing the derogatory term "Latino" and "Latina" thrown around all too often to refer to Hispanics. Today, someone mentioned at a conference, that calling people from Puerto Rico a Boricua is perfectly acceptable. Is this true or just another cultural insult brought on by ignorance and populated by the media?
Asked by Sebastian F - Thu Oct 28 14:19:42 2010 - Other - Cultures & Groups - 7 Answers - 1 Comments
A. We call ourselves and each other "boricua", which comes from the word "Boriken" (also Borinquen) which is what the natives said the country was called when the Spanish arrived. It's alright to call a Puerto Rican "boricua" because it's not a derogatory term like...others are. And hey, if you happen to say it in Puerto Rico with that tourist accent we'll probably smile, it means you did a nice vocabulary research on us.

What is the best college for me in Puerto Rico?
Q. I'm possibly going to college in Puerto Rico next fall. I'm having difficulty researching which colleges would be best. I'm planning on being a teacher... I require English courses. Which colleges would be best? Have any of you gone to them? Would my teaching certification transfer outside of PR? Any information would be great!

A. Interamerican University has more options for english speaking students. Or University of Phoenix (here at PR), but this is for Master Degrees only. Yes, you can transfer the degree or certification from PR to other states.

How important is Mexican culture in Puerto Rico and Santo Domingo?
Q. Mexican culture seems to be very cherished throughout Latin America. All Latinos I've met regardless of nationality listen to Mexican music like the Tigres del Notre, are familiar with Vicente Fernandez, love Mexican food, watch Mexican novelas, etc. Is this also true for Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.

A. I can't speak for Dom. Rep., but I do know they like Mexico and Mexicans very much in Puerto Rico. A Mexican friend of mine moved there many years ago and she dances in a folkloric ballet that performs only Mexican dances and is very popular over there -- they are often invited in TV shows and stuff. And of course not all of the dancers are mexican... so it looks like PR girls love Mexican typical dances, which makes me very proud and glad!

What areas of Puerto Rico should an American tourist avoid?
Q. Me and a group of family members (9 People) want to go to a beach resort in Guanica, PR which is close to Ponce, Puerto Rico (Pretty far from San Juan.) Any places we should avoid??? I've never gone traveling to the Caribbean and i was worried if there were any dangerous places. THANKS!

A. You will be in a great area that is not ridden with traditional urban crime. Puerto Rico has public housing developments (like those in the U.S.) and they are called "caserios". Stay away from places like that and you'll be fine. Since you'll be spending most of your time away from San Juan (where there is a lot of crime as like any large urban metropolis) you will be ok,

A. The reason for constant floods during rain season and with the coasts is that the land is being dug up and mountains blown up to build malls, roads and hotels. The coasts are losing land because the sand of the beaches is being used by the miles to build new sky scrapers, hotels, homes and so on. As for the center of the island where floods are nothing new, tearing down trees, breaking down mountains and destroying other natural resources causes the water ways to change it's course and since the rivers and streams are dissapprearing and there is no where the water can flow freely, so it spreads and floods. This is a matter of stop digging out the sand on the beaches, and stop destroying the trees and mountains or in a few years Puerto Rico… [cont.]

What part of Puerto Rico should I stay in?
Q. I want to book a vacation to Puerto Rico for my boyfriend and I. I am looking for a beach getaway outside of the hustle of downtown, but not too far of a drive from the airport. In general I look for seclusion, pretty beaches, safety, and a few good restaurants (local food would be great). I also want to explore some of the waterfalls/parks in the area.

You are also an equal distance from the east side of the island and all the great things to do, like go to Vieques and see the Bio Bay, or take a catamaran or sailboat out to the little island of Palominos to go snorkeling for the day.
